Why Baby Arizmendi ranks #60 in Boxing

Baby Arizmendi ranks 60th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 521st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 86, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Boxing reference universe of 231 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1927–1942 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1934, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world title reigns 2, career wins 71, career fights 100, wins over world champions 5.

Immediately ahead sits Georges Carpentier on 87.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Evander Holyfield on 87.6. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
